Apply for Summer of Code 2020

[caniszczyk]

GraphQL Foundation should apply for a project slot or two.

https://opensource.googleblog.com/2020/01/google-summer-of-code-2020-is-now-open.html

We could potentially have @IvanGoncharov mentor one student as part of his work for the GraphQL Foundation, we just need to come up with a couple project ideas :)

[IvanGoncharov]

@caniszczyk Great idea 👍 I would definitely volunteer as a mentor for graphql-js. Also maybe @acao and @benjie would be interested in having some help with GraphiQL.

[benjie]

I don't think I can put my hand up for this this year (hectic year); but next year for sure :+1:

[acao]

heck yeah! this is something i can sustain since ill be on it full time, makes perfect sense.

for starters, we could build out tons of documentation and examples around the new APIs! and a bunch of handy plugins as well

Hey everyone, just confirming I've got this and the application is underway.

I can hasten (or, y'know actually start) looking at the site resdesign and a GSOC person can theylook at implementation side

[brianwarner]

Awesome! We're drafting up the ideas in a Google doc so we can get it to a minimum state before posting it. I'll share with you and we can get this added.

I assume this means you're good with being added as a mentor?

[caniszczyk]

You can also be org admin if you like Orta :)

I'm OK to co-mentor with someone, (I've done a GSOC before for CocoaPods, and it turned into quite a commitment, though the team they were staying with didn't know the language they were working in, so this is a bit different)

And sure, Chris Aniszczyk, I'd be honored - I've added an agenda item on the GraphQL WG next week to get an idea of what folks want too

[pratiklodha]

Great. Please apply and soon share the potential ideas list. We students would love to contribute to GraphQL ❤️😍

[caniszczyk]

GraphQL Foundation was accepted!
